DEHORNING cattle by saving off
the horns after grown may be desira-
BILE practice, though we are not quite
ready to introduce it, When the man
who makes and sells the tools to do it
with, though, goes into print with the
claim that removing the horns will
save one-fourth of the feed,' we call
the story whopper, and take no furth err
stock in him or the practice" So says
the Maine Farmer, and it is sound
sense in solid chunks. And " saving
the feed is profound wisdom in COM
parison with another claim which the
dehorners make-that it will give a
new birth in disposition and make
them as gentle as sucking doves. Bah!

Scatter well-rotted stable manure evenly
over the land, at the rate of five two-horse
loads to the acre. Begin at one end, spread
on broadcast one bag on each plot in the
following order: r., o., RIB, CO., B. You
will then have put on the first one South
Carolina rock; on the third, South Carolina
rock, bone-black and plaster; on the fifth,
bone-black, and the same amount of potash
on each. Mark out the plots as soon as the
frost is out of the ground, spreading the
manure and the fertilizers as soon after
wards as convenient. Note the growth at
different times in summer Cut for hay at
the same time you do the rest of the field.
Keep the hay from each half of each plot by
itself and weigh when ready for the barn.
Note carefully the weights in the proper
columns of the blanks for reports. Pre-
serve one copy for your own use and send
one to the station as soon as completed.

THE editor of the Ohio Farmer is
movement to make cabinet officer of
the national commissioner of agricul-
ture. He well says: "This creating
an Office simply to publish the dignity
of any one trade or calling is, we think,
uncalled for, as tending to increase the
expenses of the nation, with no posi-
bility of return to the taxpayers"
Probably the Ohio Farmer will be set
down as no friend of the farmer by
some of the newspaper harmonious who
are so constantly wanting the farmers
dignity recognized. BY the way, sew
eral of the farmer papers are on the
same line as the Ohio Farmer.

THE movement to organize Grand
Army Post in Brooklyn, n. Y, TO bear
the name of Henry Ward Beecher, will
meet the approval of comrades every
where. Mr. Beecher never tired of
responding to the many calls the SOL
diers made upon him. His purse and
his voice were always at their service.
He, too, was Union veteran, and
noble service did he perform. His elo-
quent and imprisoned oratory, his
cool, calm courage while he confronted
bowling British mobs and won them to
the side of the Union against their
wills, was victory as great as those in
which armed hosts contended. To him
more than to any other man was it due
that England remained neutral.

ROCK ISLAND NOTES.

A large number of hands are employed in
Island freight depot. One end and side wall
is completed. Cement is being used which
will make the foundation all that is desired
1t will be completed probably this week.
The depot is on the east side of the track
and is Joined on the east by Rock Island
avenue. This gives good facilities for wagons
getting to and from the depot.
A gentleman connected with the Rock
Island company stated yesterday that the
passenger depot building would not be COM
menced until material fol- the same could be
shipped in over their own road. The passen-
ger department would probably not operate
this branch for some months. That would
give ample time in which to put up the
magnificent depot as such it surely would
be.
Concerning the passenger department not
going to occupy the line for some months the
gentleman stated that the freightdepartment
would serve to perfect the road bed so from
the beginning the passenger trains can make
good time. The company had taken special
care in constructing good road, paying out
more money far the same than any other
road that had been constructed in the state.
When everything was in good condition the
trains could make good time. He seemed to-
think that the ''snale" record Of Kansas pas
senger trains would be broken when all the
lines now being constructed get into opera
ton. There will then be some competition
in accommodating passengers and "a man to
get out of the state won't have to pay over a
weeks board en- route

THE WIRE BASKET MAN.

Some time ago, it may be remembered,
that familiar figure upon the streets was a
heavy set, smooth faced fellow with a string
of wire baskets hung over his shoulder.
Upon;tbe virtues of these he was constantly
expatiating and showing the great number
of things to which they could be adapted.
Shortly after his appearance in the city he
went to the Mayor and received an order to
secure a license from the city for the sale of
the goods He was receiving the articles
under the names of Ed. Dunn and c.
E. Rogers. One day he was ar
rested by officer Clark for selling
without license and taken before Judge Dix
on, who fined him S. with costs He plead
poverty and asked to be allowed to sell for
day in order TO get the money; this was
granted him. But still he did not have the
money and asked for another half day, and
this too was given him. Instead of recpro-
eating the kindness shown him he skips out
of the city by night. Yesterday at the ex-
press Office a letter was received from him at
Springfield, Mo-, requesting that his goods
be forwarded to him there; SO he is evidently
now dispensing his wire baskets in that city,
and 10 doubt making another effort to jump
the city license.

BOOT AND SHOE FACTORY.

A strsng effort is being made by parties
interested, to secure the location of the boot
and shoe factory on the west side. The
ground has been donated and a portion of the
money for the building has been subscribed
Mr.. Deming, representing the company, is
here with plans Of the building, which is to
be not less than 100 feet deep, SO feet wide
and three stories high, and is ready to COM
mence operations as soon as the required
amount is raised. If the property owners of
the west side do not give the enterprise suf-
ficient encouragement the company threaten
to entertain proposition on North Fourth
avenue, and will commence work on the
building without delay. The factory will
bring large number of skilled operatives
with their families who will build themselves
new homes in the city.

sr1LLUNsErrLEp.

The late change in the route of the
Wichita & Suburban Motor line don't seem
to be working any more charmingly than the
first one did. The kickers on Market street
between Tenth and Thirteenth streets are
getting in their exercise with apparently
more vigor than ever. What will be the out
growth of the dissatisfaction seems to be q
doubtful question. The company is assured
by some parties that they will be welcomed
in that section with an Injunction, if they at
tempt to construct the line there. The COM
pany on the other hand, can't see why
they should be received in that manner, and
it is a matter of speculation whether they
will attempt to occupy the street or not. 1t
is claimed that some of the kickers are urged
to kick by parties interested in other street
car lines, and it is believed by
some that the opposition might go SO far as
to advance money to delay matters by litiga-
ton.
In speaking of the matter yesterday gen
tleman suggested that probably the Wichita
& Suburban could be induced to run north to
Fifteenth street on Water. If that could not
be done he did not know what remedy to
recommend.
While the question is in a dispute the com
pany has ordered material part Of which is
expected to arrive at an early date. In a
short time work will be commenced on Wa
ter street at Douglas avenue and line pushed
to completion as early as possible. It is de-
sired to give Paramount college and vicinity
a service as soon as possible. The people in
that section are beginning to get loud in their
calls for the line. They claim that they un-
derstood long since that the line would be in
operation by June but by some means the
delay

AN OLD KANSAN.

Ex-Attorney General w. A. Guthrie, of
Atchison, called at the EAGLE Office in COM
pany with j. Walter De Lacour yesterday.
General Gutherie is an old and honored citi-
zen Of Kansas On the twenty third day of
the present month he will have resided thirty
years in this state. His experience in this
state extends from the days when Kansas
was only settled along the eastern border up
through the stirring border ruffian troubles
to the present time 1t sounds like romance
to hear him tell of the triumphs and troubles
of Kansas
There are few living men who can tell
more of Kansas than General Guthrie. Her
political history he knows by heart, having
himself been an actor in many events which
go to make up that record. General Guthrie
says his thirty years residence in this state
har furnished many surprises, the greatest of
which is Wichita. As he stood in the aerie
OF the EAGLE and looked up and down Doug
las avenue he exclaimed, 1T is indeed mar
veouSn
The EAGLE hopes General Guthrie will live
long and see yet greater things for Kansas.
